BREVARD COUNTY • TITUSVILLE, FLORIDA – A Florida AMBER Alert was issued Tuesday for a 15-year-old girl who last seen in the area of the 1600 block of Barna Avenue in Titusville.

Law enforcement authorities have not identified the girl.

“Our Investigative teams have tracked down numerous tips, including some claims on social media about who the missing person is, but all tips have been eliminated so far and do not have anything to do with our possible abduction yesterday,” said Titusville Police Deputy Chief Todd Hutchinson.

“Yesterday’s investigation revealed three independent witnesses that described the incident in which a young female was forced into a vehicle against her will. We are still acting on the assumption that this was an abduction, but recognize this could have been a dispute between known persons.”

Hutchinson said he is hopeful to get that one lead that solves this case and police continue to ask for tips from the community. You can remain anonymous by calling CRIMELINE at 800-423-TIPS.
